We really enjoyed staying at Phil's place. It was very clean, modern and stylish with all the amenities that you need, including the comfiest bed. We didn't have to chance to meet Phil, but we met his aunt who was very kind. The location was a bit hard to find, especially if arriving at night. However, could be found more easily when using the application Grab to get around as the driver uses a GPS, unlike taxi drivers. It was hard to find breakfast early in the morning. But we did see a cute little café down the street on our last day ad we were leaving Bangkok. We highly recommend Phil's place for an authentic Thai experience!
